Alyssa's POV
I walked down the aisle with my father, the guests rose to their feet as their gaze fixed on me. I looked down immediately, the scene was overwhelming.
"Raise your head," my father said beside me but I didn't answer him. I felt like hissing loudly.
"Alyssa, raise your head," he said through his gritted teeth but I still refused to obey him.
He stylishly used his index finger to raise my head, to which I turned away from.
His grip around my wrist tightened, "I promise to scream, if you don't loosen up your grip, Dad," I threatened as I raised my head a little.
"Look at your groom," he said beside me as his grip loosened a bit. It just crossed my mind to look at that rascal.
I can't believe he could even flirt with me openly even with the predicament we were in. He seems to know I was the one coming because he wasn't as shocked as I was the other day.
It made me wonder if he approached me intentionally or not. But, I will go with the latter, the way he spoke shows he wasn't interested in this marriage as well.
"You are in a daze, Alyssa. Smile to the guests," I heard my father's voice again, he can really be talkative at times.
As we got to the altar, Lucas winked at me as he took my hands from my father. My father nodded at him and patted his shoulder before he walked away. Now, I was left with this pervert.
He passed me a mischievous grin, and I forcefully yanked my hands away from his.
The priest looked shocked but I flashed him a reassuring smile.
We exchanged our vows, "By the power bestowed upon me. I now pronounce you as husband and wife," the priest said, earning a roar of applause from the guests.
The priest continued, "You may kiss your bride," I glared at the moron, who was grinning as if he had won a lottery.
Before I understood what was going on, he had pulled me to him and smooched his lips on mine.
'This bast@rd just took my first kiss away from me!' I screamed in my head.
Not caring about the prying eyes looking at us, I pushed him away instantly. I swear that I held myself so hard from not slapping him, he was so disrespectful.
He gave an awkward chuckle and said, "My bride is a bit shy," I didn't change the glare on my face but guests and the priest seemed to believe his words.
Our sitting area was designed to be both elegant and intimate. It was set up on a raised platform, with a soft, white rug covering the floor.
The backdrop was a sheer white curtain, giving the area a dreamy, romantic feel. Two plush armchairs were set in the center, with a small table between them, adorned with flowers and candles.
I sank into the armchair and threw my head backward, the gown was heavy and very uncomfortable.
"What was that about?" I heard a voice.
I opened my eyes weakly and turned to see the furious Lucas.
'Just ignore him,' I said to myself and turned my face away from him.
"I am talking…" he was interrupted by another voice.
"My dear," I looked up and saw an old granny walking towards me. I sat upright and flashed her a warming smile.
"You look stunning, princess," she complimented.
'Oops! That got me off guard,’
I felt a blush crept on my cheeks as she posed beside me and we took pictures together.
She introduced herself to be Lucas Grandmother. We took pictures with her, and all other family members.
Soon, it was cake cutting time. We stood in front of a well decorated cake, Lucas placed his hand on mine to which I didn't bother hiding my displeasure, and pulled away.
Out of instinct, I felt a glare on me and I found it to come from my Dad. I reluctantly allowed him to grasp his hand on mine.
We cut the cake and I fed it to my Mum, Ivy and myself. His father was smiling at me lovely, he seems to have noticed my stubbornness, I felt a bit remorseful and smiled at him.
"Dear," a voice called, it belonged to his Grandmother and I turned and smiled at her.
"You see, I know this is out of your will, but I promise everything will be alright," she assured in a lower tone.
'Only if you cancel the wedding,’ I faked a smile at her, then she waved her hands to gain the attention of everyone.
She began, "I have a gift for the newlyweds," she said and that piqued my interest.
“I have planned a wonderful honeymoon for you two," she gushed, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"You will love the resort I have booked for you, so romantic and luxurious," her eyes crinkled as she giggled.
"Really?" All eyes turned to Ivy, who immediately asked when Grandmother was done.
She suddenly felt awkward and came to my side, "Babe, your in-laws are very nice. Won't you say thank you to her?" She asked, trying to dissolve the atmosphere.
"You won't be the one to remind her," Grandmother said, not liking her interruption.
I chuckled to clear off the tension, but my mind was far from the talks.
'Honeymoon,’ I haven't even thought of that. Her voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Also, I have other gifts for the couple. A well furnished mansion is waiting for you two after your honeymoon," she beamed.
"Thanks Granny," Lucas said beside me as I gazed at him.
'I am going to be alone with this pervert,’ I thought as I let my imagination go wild.
I averted my gaze from him and subconsciously grabbed my gown. I gazed around for my Mum and I found her smiling at me.
I gripped the edge of my gown and walked closer to her, “Mum, she said honey.."
She interrupted me, "Sweetie, it's gonna be fine," she assured, looking so sure about it.
I bursted into tears and she hugged me to herself. I don't know what the future holds but I knew I won't see my Mum everyday as before.
The ceremony proceeded with grace and celebration. We got into the car, and I waved at my Mum and Ivy.
Alyssa's POVWe are currently in the car, I threw my head backward in exhaustion. I can't wait to get out of this car, this douchebag was making me feel suffocated.“I guess I have to talk about it now, there will be no more interruption. What was that stunt you pulled out there?” I heard Lucas asking beside me.He was referring to why I pushed him when he was about to kiss me at the altar. Just like I told myself earlier, ignore him.I did just that. I was missing my Mum already and this marriage thing is still a shock to me. Any unnecessary things that could worsen my mood further, I just have to avoid it.“I am talking to you,” he said but I didn't act as if I heard him. My eyes were closed but he knew I wasn't sleeping. It was late in the evening already and I wonder why we haven't arrived at the house his Granny gave to us.“Don't you dare act dumb in front of me shorty,” he gritted his teeth and I felt him yank my wrists, forcing me to open my eyes.“Answer my question ASAP! Do
Lucas’ POVShe looks so cute when she is angry. I couldn't help but shake my head, I saw her pointing her index finger at me but my mind was far away from her.All my thoughts were clouded around having her tonight. After all, she is my wife even if I am a bit disappointed at her small stature.Her small pouty lips that were painted with a red lipstick were opening and closing slowly, they looked so inviting.“If you ever try to…..” I don't know what got over me but I knew I wanted it, so I went for it. There is no one that will be stopping me from having her tonight.She began to struggle but I held her tighter. Her lips were so soft and warm, suddenly… “Ahh!” I instantly pulled away from her when she suddenly bit me hard.“What the fvck….” I was silenced as her palm made contact with my cheeks.My lips twisted into a sly smile, I looked down at her and saw how red her face was. She looked so mad.“I will never forgive you for this, fvcker!” She screamed at me loudly, nearly crying
Lucas’ POVThe Next Morning.I woke up but couldn't open my eyes. I felt as if someone was gazing at me, it was an instinct.I groggily opened my eyes and saw the lady I played with last night, ogling at me with a bright smile on her face.'Nope, this isn't bright. That's a sly smile,’ my subconscious said and I opened my eyes fully.She looked to be in a daze as she stroked my face. I cleared my throat and she was finally snapped out of whatever that she was thinking.“Good morning, handsome. How was your night?” She greeted me, I stood up and sat on the bed.My heart was throbbing badly, I didn't respond to her but searched for my phone.“Are you looking for this?” I looked over to her side and saw my phone with her.“And tell me the reason why you are with it?” I asked in a slightly raised voice, my voice sounded hoarse and husky.Instead of feeling intimidated, she said with a blush crept on her cheeks.“I didn't want you to be disturbed by phone calls, so I switched it off,” she
Alyssa's POVYesterday's event took a toll on my body. All my body felt numb and stiff. I was mad at myself for giving that rascal another chance for kissing me for the second time without my consent.I slept off while crying last night, I knew that I would have to bear with his attitude. We will be living together afterwards.It was my Mum's call that woke me up this morning, followed by Ivy. I did all my morning routines and decided to leave the room. I was still on a phone call with Ivy when that rascal entered.“Yeah, he just got back,” I was explaining what he did to Ivy and informed her that he had just arrived.His hair was disheveled, there was red lipstick all over his face. His eyes widened when he saw me.I could only shake my head and walked to the kitchen when he suddenly yelled behind me.“Hey! That is totally a lie. I only went out for some work,” I was startled when I heard his loud voice.“Is he high?” I muttered under my breath, I noticed that he was walking closer t
Alyssa's POVI didn't mean to be aggressive, the fact that he cheated on me without even hiding it was making me madder at him. He walked closer to Granny and I, trying to sit next to me but one glare from me, he settled on the couch across the table. Each of us was seated on different couches, but I was closer to Granny than he was.“I hope you are good?” Granny asked, the question was directed to me and I smiled.But before I could respond to her, Lucas beat me to it.“Oh my sweet grandmother. After you have disciplined me, you still showed your concern to me,” he touched his heart with a dramatic expression on his face.“I will forever love you Granny,” he cooed, I was biting my lips in order not to laugh.'Doesn’t he know what he looks like?’ I couldn't help but chuckle silently.His shirt was wrinkled and his smile looked forced. He leaned into the couch and sighed soundly.“To answer your question, Granny, I am hanging in there, but not without a symphony of aches and pains. Th
Alyssa's POV"What audacity do you think you have... to call another man right in front of your husband?!” Lucas snapped, feigning anger and I couldn't help but scoff.He might think I was on the phone call with another guy, but I was amused that he was being jealous.“Just keep shut!” I snapped at him with a glare. He looked taken back and I crossed my arms.“At times, you yell unnecessarily. Don't you get tired? At 24, you should be this childish,” I rubbed my forehead tiredly.I have a lot to think about, rather than having a banter with him.“You called another guy ‘babe’ right in front of me. Don't you have shame, and you expected me to keep mute about it,” he said and I rolled my eyes.“This shouldn't be coming from you, mister. Someone who is shameless is talking about shame. Just take a good look at yourself,” I hissed at him.He is so dirty. It's been more than thirty minutes since he arrived, he hasn't taken the initiative to bathe yet.“I know I am good-looking no doubt. Ma
Alyssa's POVAfter what seemed like an eternity, he finally came out of the bathroom. I was so vexed and decided to ignore him.We dressed up and the maids packed our bags. I wore a soft t-shirt, stretchy leggings and comfy sneakers. I held my hoodie with my arm and hung my hand bag on my shoulder.I walked down the stairs with him behind me. I was actually self-conscious because I was intentionally climbing down the stairs slowly. Yet, he still hadn't met up with me.I suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Yeah, I caught him!He smirked.“Don't you think that's disrespectful?” “Who cares about disrespect,” he scoffed and was about to walk past me when I suddenly kicked him and he landed flat on the floor.“Fvck! What the heck?!” He yelled loudly, looking furious. His eyes scanned through the room, the maids and bodyguards were hiding their faces in order to hide their laughing faces.“That’s what you get for being a sn*tch!” I snapped at him, tying my hoodie around my waist.
Alyssa's POV “That fvcker!” I cursed under my breath, marching at a fast pace towards Lucas and the blushing flight attendant.I can't believe he was flirting with her openly.“What's going on here?” I asked immediately I was close enough.“Nothing that seems to be your business,” he responded without looking at me. The smile on his face widened when he gazed at the flight attendant, who looked confused.“I will take three slices of sandwiches… since I can't have you,” he flirted and I scoffed.“That's a cheap pick up line. It doesn't sound….” He interrupted me.“It's my business. So don't intervene,” he turned to look at me and said flatly. At first, I was intimidated at his gaze, but then, I was quick to snap out of the spell. The flight attendant walked past me and I followed behind her.“Where do you think you are going? Come back here,” Lucas said in a loud voice, attracting prying eyes on us.He stood up and came to pull my back. All I wanted was just to warn the lady to stay
